Julie is making fruit smoothies. She can make 8 servings of a certain amount of smoothie with 5 ounces of pineapple juice left over or 12 servings of the same amount if she has 11 ounces more pineapple juice. How many ounces, x, of pineapple juice are in each serving?

Answer:

4 ounces

Explanation:

she make 8 serve rings with 5 ounces left but she needs 11 more to make 12 servings so in total it’s 16 more ounces of juice to make 12 serverings compared to 8 servings since 11+5=16

We subtract 12 and 8

12-8=4

So it is 16 ounces of juice to make 4 servings and now we divide for each serving

16/4

4 ounces of juice for each serving

Hopes this helps please mark beainliest
